Blocked drains in Blacktown — cleared, and shown to you on camera
Blacktown runs the full range: 60-year-old clay sewer under the older streets, shared stacks in the unit blocks near the station, and granny flat lines that were added later. Each blocks differently, so we camera first.

Local knowledge
Blocked Drains in Blacktown — what we actually see
In the established parts of Blacktown — the streets around the hospital and the older residential pockets — it's earthenware sewer with roots at the joints, and the tell is a gully that overflows in the yard before anything backs up inside. In the walk-up units and the newer apartments closer to the station, it's a different animal: a shared stack that's blocked by wipes and fat from several kitchens, where clearing it from one unit doesn't fix the building's problem.
The third category is Blacktown's granny flats and secondary dwellings. A lot were added to existing houses, and the new waste was tied into an old line that was never designed for the extra load — or run with barely any fall. Those block repeatedly until someone actually looks at the pipe. That's the point of the camera: it tells you whether you have a blockage or a design problem.
What we get called out for in Blacktown
Root-blocked sewer under an older Blacktown block
Jetted, cut clear and re-cameraed so you can see what the roots did to the pipe — and whether relining is worth it.
Unit block or strata stack
Cleared from the right access point, with a written report and footage the strata manager can act on.
Granny flat waste that keeps backing up
Usually insufficient fall or an overloaded old line. We find out which, and quote the fix rather than clearing it again.
What's included
- CCTV drain camera inspection
- High-pressure water jet blasting
- Electric eel drain clearing
- Tree root cutting and removal
- Sewer, stormwater and downpipe drains
- Pipe repairs and no-dig relining
Blocked drains are quoted as a fixed price for the clear. If the camera shows the pipe itself is damaged, the repair is quoted separately — you're never committed to it on the spot.

Blocked Drains in Blacktown — your questions
Do you service Blacktown from Penrith, or are you local?
We're based in Penrith and Blacktown is a straight run down the M4 — we're there most days, and most calls are reached within the hour. For a blocked drain that means the jetter and the camera arrive together, so it's diagnosed and cleared in one visit rather than two.
Who pays for a blocked drain in a unit or strata building?
It depends where the blockage is. Inside your own unit's branch line is usually the owner's; a shared stack or the common line is usually strata. Our camera footage and written report is what settles that, and we give it to you either way so you're not arguing it from memory.
Can you clear it without digging up the yard?
Nearly always. High-pressure jetting works through the existing inspection points, and where a pipe is actually broken we can often reline it from inside rather than excavating. We'll only recommend digging when the pipe has collapsed and there's genuinely no other way.
